Closely resembles Earth s moon very thin Mariner l0 in NASA s Messenger will make several flybys in 2011 closest planet to the sun. Has a highly eccentric orbit named after Roman god of commerce, travel, and thievery often visible with binoculars, but is always very close to the sun, so is only visible at dawn and dusk

Great Red Spot has been observed since 1 7th century and is big enough to hold two Earths named for the Roman king of the gods more than twice as massive as all other planets combined Galileo Galilei s discovery of four moons in 1610 was first observation of celestial movement not centered around Earth

Rings composed of innumerable small particles, primarily water ice, in orbit around the planet Pioneer 11in 1979 least dense of all planets has most prominent and easily visible rings of any giant planet rings are less than 1 km thick named for Roman god of agriculture (father of Jupiter) has the strongest winds in the solar system, measured at over 1,100 mph at the equator Uranus Neptune Sir William Herschel, known 31,765 miles Distance from sun billion miles 83.8 Earth years Length of rotation 17 hours, 14 minutes (Earth time) Temperature at cloud -345 F tops no solid surface. Consists of hydrogen, helium, and methane Voyager 2 in 1986 (only visit) not visible to the unaided eye named for the Greek sky god and father of the Titans (including Cronus/Saturn) Johann Gottfried Gate, known 30,775 miles Distance from sun billion miles Earth years Length of rotation 16 hours, 7 minutes (Earth time) Temperature at cloud tops -346 F no solid surface consists of hydrogen, helium, and methane Voyager 2 in 1986 (only visit) not visible to the unaided eye atmosphere makes the planet appear blue named for Roman god of the sea has very faint and thin rings
